📊 Your eCommerce Business Can Be Profitable — and Still Run Into a Cash Flow Problem

Because profit and cash are not the same thing.
For eCommerce brands, cash is constantly moving through inventory → sales → receivables → supplier payments. Understanding how efficiently that cycle works can make a major difference to working capital and growth.

One important metric is Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) — the average time your business takes to pay suppliers. DPO forms part of the broader Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) alongside Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) and Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).

Cash Conversion Cycle = DIO + DSO − DPO

But DPO isn’t simply about delaying supplier payments.
Used properly, it can help management understand how supplier payment timing interacts with inventory movement, collections and overall working capital. The underlying DPO calculation generally uses average accounts payable relative to COGS for the period.

💡 What should eCommerce businesses be watching?
🔹 How quickly are you paying suppliers?
🔹 How long is inventory sitting before being sold?
🔹 How quickly are sales converted into cash?
🔹 Is too much working capital trapped in inventory?
🔹 Are payment terms aligned with your operating cycle?
🔹 Can your financial reports actually answer these questions?
